ORLANDO, Fla - Sarah-Jane Kenyon the newest member to the LPGA and “Miss January” of the "Top Shots: Women of Professional Golf 2007 Calendar” was welcomed graciously to Valencia’s west campus where she held a press conference.

Kenyon started playing golf at the age of 12. When asked about who introduced her to the sport she said, “My dad, he always played golf. He was basically the mean reason I started playing.”

In December of 2004 she turned professional, but 2006 is known to be her rookie year.

In 2006 she competed on both the ALPG Tour and the Duramed FUTURES Tour and information released by LPGA states that she made $3,696, was ranked at 189, and had a scoring average of 75.29.

She is 24 years old, Australian, engaged to Duane Smith also a professional golfer, and was diagnosed with Celiac disease which is a hereditary disease she obtained from her mother.

“Golf is good for you in every aspect,” said Kenyon. Her most interesting experience through playing golf is traveling all over in her 1991 Honda Accord. Her favorite golf course is the New Port Country Club in Rhode Island.

For those women who are aspiring to be golfers Kenyon said “Just be patient, you gotta work hard, but its definitely worth it, theres a lot of rewards if you do work hard, but I definitely was little naïve coming over here thinking it might happen a little bit quicker.”
